PUBLIC money should NEVER be used for private or religious education. If you want to be a private school then you're a PRIVATE SCHOOL

[monorail]

The issue around public education is draining funds from low income areas to fund charter schools that last maybe 5 years, leaving the public schools unable to support its students.

[monorail]

Rich or middle class can get into private schools. The point is to defund low income areas so they aren't educated.

[rickypen]

Universities in the rest of the country need to step in and outright tell florida if they do this, their students will be ineligible for higher education.

[ladylikelia]

We really don't talk enough about the fact that public schools are funded by local property taxes, so that children raised in poorer neighborhoods are condemned to a sub-standard education.

[MrWyzdum]

Prager U in schools? This cannot be allowed.

[ToastyMcGrath]

It's crazy how much damage DeSantis has been able to do in such a short time.

[seanpatrick]

Absolutely! I've been screaming to anyone who would listen for years now that the most important aspect of any democracy is a high quality, well-funded, non-religious, public education system.

If you want to pay for your kid to go to the private school of your choice, great.
But you can't have my tax dollars to pay for it.

[chrishendricks]

Love Sam’s take but he misses one point about a goal about the Devos plan. Yes, they would not mind if tax $ went to parochial schools but they also want that $ flowing into corporate pockets through charters. It is one of the greatest grifter capitalist opportunities of this century.

All "school choice" really means is I'm a Conservative who wants to send my kids to a religious and/or private school where they won't teach subjects that I disagree with or feel uncomfortable about.

Prager U - A real university by the standards of Florida.

[TraumaQueen]

It's the government's resposibility to educate the populace and as such MUST be funded adequately

[chrisgrant]

This was a satirical joke what like 3 years ago? That Prager frickin U would be made part of school curricula. Wtf is going on?!!! I swear the US has completely lost the plot.

[jessetorres]

Does anyone else who watches Progressive YouTube channel videos keep getting bombarded by PragerU, Turning Point USA, & Daily Wire video ads before the actual video begins?

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is doing this right now in Arkansas. It’s sickening.

[fxygem]

Where are the taxpayers on this issue? Won't their taxes go up?
And let's apply the same logic that people are using for college loan forgiveness: my parents had to pay out-of-pocket to send me to Catholic School, and now they're just going to give it away to everybody?
Oh and by the way, the Catholic school was a vastly inferior education to the public school. We spent 45 minutes a day on religion when we could have been studying sing useful like science. We didn't get science until ninth grade and it was a lame course called "survey of science". (Of course, 9th grade is the year that you usually teach biology so they skirted by that one.)
And the public school starts a foreign language in 7th grade instead of 9th.
Plus, I always felt that we got the bottom-of-the-barrel lay teachers because they couldn't get hired in the public school, which paid more. And the nuns were just insane and abusive.
I happily sent my son to public school and he got a superior education. He went on to graduate summa cumlaude in computer science from Drexel and then go on for a PhD in Material Science.
People have got to start speaking out about the horrible, crappy education they got in a religious school.

Tim Pool: According to the mega-donors who fund my podcast, the solution to your misery under capitalism is WORK HARDER, SERF!! MORE TIME IN THE MINES!!!!

[landerson]

As someone who was raised by religious parents who homeschooled me in Utah. I wish that I was not homeschooled. The most I learned on a subject was when I went part time to public school and took chemistry. I was a good enough student that when I got my GED I got full marks in that subject.
Many of the subjects that my mom was "teaching" me was just giving me a book to work through by myself and self report on back to her

Isn't it odd how these right-wing pundits whose job is to talk in a studio tell everybody else about hard work and the need for a strong work ethic.
